I'm on a healing Journey, looking for friends
Posted: Sun Jun 03, 2012 1:28 pmHi everyone,
I came here in search of finding good people to talk to. I'm a young person growing up in this technology based era and spend a lot of time on the internet. I'm finding more and more things on the internet that are hurting me. Poems and pictures of sad things people post. People talking about how there is no God and there is nothing they can do to help themselves. I feel my mind has been poisoned with these thoughts and just typed in Christian Online Groups into google and this is the first thing that popped up. No one here knows me and I feel comfort in that.
The reason why I want to be a part of this community is because throughout my struggles I feel like when there is nothing else there is always God. It's hard to find people here that want to talk about God. I grew up with strict Catholic parents and never was a big fan of prayer and worship. I was quite the rebel growing up and joined the army to get out of town. I have no problems with the job itself but a lot of things have hurt me while I have been serving. I was raped within the first few months of arriving to my first duty station (all the way in Germany, far from my family), I became an alcoholic, and spent the good part of the past year in and out of hospitals and rehab. I have come a long way in recovery, but lately have been reliving things in nightmares every night. I've become really depressed and don't understand why things like this happen.
I'm searching for God, friends, support, and people that I can help out too. I feel I have come to the right place
Wish you all a blessed day.
Your friend,
Tara
